United States VS Japan

The United States is leading the worldwide statistics on teen pregnancy percentage; accounting for 1 out of 3 teenage girls expected to give birth before their twentieth birthday. about 820 thousand girls become pregnant on average within the United States annually.

this contrasts with Japan's records of teen pregnancy, 4 per every thousand girls.

 the reason being, are Japanese society's frowning upon teens who do get pregnant and the negative attitude given to them. teens who get pregnant are " advised " to quit school or abort. However; they don't find themselves pushed towards the alternative of adoption, something which is scarcely heard of in Japan.
